Ride-sharing allows drivers to use their personal cars to transport customers for a fee. As the new model has begun displacing taxis and other traditional car services companies, lawmakers and the insurance industry have sought to have ride-sharing companies carry more comprehensive – and more expensive – liability insurance.

But organizers canceled a planned Wednesday rally at the Capitol as Bonilla accepted amendments lowering the mandated value of insurance from $500,000 to $200,000 when drivers are cruising without passengers.

AB 2293 would still alter when parent companies must cover their drivers, expanding the standard to include times when drivers have turned in an application allowing them to take on passengers but have not yet accepted ride requests. When a driver has accepted a request or picked up a passenger, AB 2293 would require $1 million worth of insurance.

“In the last few days, the debate was definitely over the amount,” Bonilla said.
